    `Serializable`, `Comparable<AutoCloneStyle>`

      public enum AutoCloneStyle
      extends Enum<AutoCloneStyle>

  Intended style to use for cloning when using the `@`AutoClone annotation.

    `COPY_CONSTRUCTOR` | Uses the copy constructor pattern.
    `SERIALIZATION` | Uses serialization to clone.
    `SIMPLE` | Uses the no-arg constructor followed by property/field copying/cloning.

    Modifier and Type | Method | Description
    --- | --- | ---
    `static AutoCloneStyle` | `valueOf​(String name)` | Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name.
    `static AutoCloneStyle[]` | `values()` | Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared.

    - #### CLONE

          public static final AutoCloneStyle CLONE

      Uses only cloning.

    - #### SIMPLE

          public static final AutoCloneStyle SIMPLE

      Uses the no-arg constructor followed by property/field copying/cloning.

    - #### COPY_CONSTRUCTOR

          public static final AutoCloneStyle COPY_CONSTRUCTOR

      Uses the copy constructor pattern.

    - #### SERIALIZATION

          public static final AutoCloneStyle SERIALIZATION

      Uses serialization to clone.

  - ### Method Detail

    - #### values

          public static AutoCloneStyle[] values()

      Returns an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared. This method may be used to iterate over the constants as follows:

          for (AutoCloneStyle c : AutoCloneStyle.values())
              System.out.println(c);

      Returns:
        an array containing the constants of this enum type, in the order they are declared

    - #### valueOf

          public static AutoCloneStyle valueOf​(String name)

      Returns the enum constant of this type with the specified name. The string must match exactly an identifier used to declare an enum constant in this type. (Extraneous whitespace characters are not permitted.)
      Parameters:
        `name` - the name of the enum constant to be returned.
      Returns:
        the enum constant with the specified name
      Throws:
        `IllegalArgumentException` - if this enum type has no constant with the specified name
        `NullPointerException` - if the argument is null
